Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
Finland, 2010
Several films have portrayed Santa Claus as a jolly man who wants to help children. This Finnish movie has a radically different take on the character: a villainous St. Nick who enjoys hurting kids. A team of archeologists accidentally dig up evil Santa, who was buried alive for humanity's protection. In the vein of 1980s American films, two boys are the only ones who realize what is happening and must save Christmas from Santa. This darkly comic holiday oddity was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best International Film.
